Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Skip Beat! (Mandarin: 華麗的挑戰, literally Glamorous Challenge) is a Taiwanese television series based on the manga of the same name. The series is a joint production between Taiwan and Japan, and is produced by Gala Television under executive producer Doze Niu. The series was first developed in 2008, where Ariel Lin and Jerry Yan were casted as the main roles, but production was postponed due to several financial setbacks and script re-writes, causing actors to drop out and the project was stuck in Development Hell. It was brought back into production following the signing of Super Junior members Siwon and Donghae in 2010 and Ivy Chen in 2011.Although it is an Adaptation Distillation, the series follows the same plot as the original: upon graduating from high school, Gong Xi gives up her chances for university to support her childhood friend, Bu Po Shang, in his pop idol career. Moving from Taitung to Taipei and debuting as an idol, Bu Po Shang's popularity quickly rises, eventually becoming one of the top idols in Taiwan. Gong Xi starts working on multiple jobs day after day to support him and his lifestyle, but finds out that he only used her so she can help him with his living expenses. Feeling heartbroken, Gong Xi vows to get revenge by becoming more famous than him.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Adaptational Villainy: Just like in the original series, Gong Xi plays one of the villains in a remake of drama titled "Dark Moon". Her interpretation of Wei Xu has countless differences from the original, which causes conflict but is later accepted as the better interpretation.

Bad Job, Worse Uniform: The "Love Me" uniform is a glaringly pink jumpsuit which makes Gong Xi and Qin the laughingstocks of the company.
